Chrome Industries continues to shine. The bag maker has introduced the latest addition to its line of Knurled Welded Waterproof Rolltop bags for bike camping, adventure cycling and all-weather commuting. We saw these at last fall’s Interbike and these are finally ready for the daily ride. These are made with a proprietary technology that combines RF welding with a mechanical interlock. These offer a watertight rolltop closure and a loop system for bag expansion, and the result is a durable, lightweight and 100 percent waterproof bag.
This new line includes a 20-liter Saddle Bag Rolltop 20 (MSRP: $160) and 40-liter Front Rack Duffle 40 ($100) (Top). Each is designed to leave the hardware on the bike for easier carrying. In addition Chrome is rolling out two backpacks – the 18-liter Urban EX Rolltop 18 ($120) and 37-liter Excursion Rolltop 37 ($160) (Left).
